I have never heard of that happening. I would hop on the irc and ask them
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
Were you holding down a volume button on accident?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] s_mason16:
I was holding it down on purpose because I wanted to see the download mode.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] javskies:
Maybe your little bump isn't working. Try holding both up and down while plugging into your comp
[Sprint LG Optimus G] s_mason16:
That worked, but I'm new to doing anything with the lgog so I was just following exactly as I read it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] javskies:
Glad it worked. I understand why you would want to be careful
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Morkai Almandragon:
Considering the new update I am now hesitant. Can Someone tell me what Baseband version I want to AVOID so that the bootloader is unlockable?

I would also love to know the ramifications of getting stuck on the new Bootloader, IE will I still be able to root, but be stuck with the Stock Rom? Will I still be able to use TiBu to remove system apps, or add them? Etc?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Morkai Almandragon:
well it has taken me a while but I have answered all my questions but one, if the phone is on the locked bootloader, but rooted, can i add and remove system APKs without bricking the phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] s10sdeville:
I havent really tayed up to date on the unlocking since mine was unlocked from day one but get the phone its sick as it is and be patient adam is the man and bootloader will be unlocked again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Dont let the store apply the update. Tell them and be firm that you don't want it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
You don't have to let the store activate it at all. You can do what I did and tell them you just want a new phone in the box and tell them you are going to activate it yourself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnminator:
If i buy a new Samsung galaxy note 2 from the Verizon store will it have the OTA update that locks the boot loader
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] haunting:
New OTA = Bad ;(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imablackhat:
More then likely. Seeing how they also update it and set it up before they even hand it to you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TonikJDK:
Tell them before they get the phone out that if they accept the update you are going to use the 14 day return right on the spot. Or by it online and have it shipped so you control it. I find its a bit cheaper that way. The stores always find fees to track on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
I bought my N2 from a local VZ store the day they where released.

When I bought mine, I didn't want some VZ douche who was totally clueless (I'm not saying they are all that way) messing with the new phone so I simply told them "I just want it new in the box, I will activate it myself".

I paid for it, took it home and used the SIM from my G3 to activate it. If you do what I did, you don't have to worry about any OTAs etc. (or anything else for that matter, I was in a local VZ store recently when a VZ tech dropped a Woman's Galaxy G2 on a tile floor)

Another time, I saw a female tech pry off an OtterBox case with a nail file........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snickn:
Let me first say I've looked through the forums and can't find a direct answer to this, so I hope this doesn't bother you guys.

I just bought the noteII yesterday and so far it looks like I'm selling the iPhone5 (why'd it take me so long?)

I do want to root my noteII so I can use the secure setting and other plugins with Tasker mostly. Plus just having full control.

Seems I have Android 4.1.1 with Baseband version I605VRALL4 and Build JR003C.I605VRALL4 (kernel 3.0.31-414933)

Now I'm a mac user so one question is - is there a way to do this through mac? if it possible...second is if it's not how long until it looks like it might be? gives me time to find a windows PC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ILMF:
You will need a windows PC with the samsung drivers installed as well as ODIN.

Yes you can still root, but you cannot unlock the bootloader at this time because your phone has accepted the OTA - so flashing custom ROM's, kernel's, etc. is out. All the info you need is in this thread to root (if you have a VERIZON Note2):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024207

Use the route66 image (there are three listed to choose from, be sure to pick route66) - there is lots of information on what you want to do in the latter 15 pages of that thread.

stop after section 1a.

Honestly though out of the box the phone is outstanding, and without an unlock method for the bootloader, I'd recommend doing nothing. Too many people have already borked their phones due to lack of experience, knowledge, reading the steps correctly...you get the idea. I'm not commenting on your knowledge, just saying what I would do after reading as much as I could find here on this phone. The terrific devs will come up with a way to unlock and root the post OTA version soon enough.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] snickn:
Honestly the two things that is causing me to want to unlock it is I can't seem to get Tasker to control lockscreen properly. I have it setup to detect what cell towers I'm on and not lock in the house - and yet...it continually locks. Shows I'm on that cell tower, just seems like it can't properly control the lockscreen.

Secondly, I'd like to make GPS only come on when certain apps are open - and that seems to be a root only feature.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ILMF:
Reason enough for me :thumbup:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] alu1008:
after these steps, will I get OTA for current security fixed updated?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] soulesschild:
You know I'm going to forgive you this time for not reading the OP and then the other giant thread on it but come on man, seriously. :eek:

If you have a brand new phone and you took the OTA, you can still root. Just do NOT try to install a custom recovery, kernel, rom, etc.

If you are rooted and you took the OTA, you should still be rooted OR you will already have root installed. Again, you CANNOT install a custom recovery, kernel, or rom, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ILMF:
You will get prompted. Defer the OTA then freeze or uninstall SDM 1.0 using Titanium Backup from the Play Store.

You can get the OTA applied using a safe zip made by Adryn...its a thread in the General section I think.

The threads are full of questions and answers on this topic.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LBJM:
People bork their phones all the time. Samsung phones are the easiest to "fix". It amazes me that even with step by step videos people still get things wrong. Life is about living and learning. If you screw it up 9 times out 10 it can be fixed.

pre rooted

i think this device comes prerooted. just install supersu from market and reboot ... i too have the same device..
[LG Optimus G (International)] latrotoxin1986:
So I did something I knew better than to do, but after weeks of dealing with it, got annoyed and accepted it. There was a system update that came through a few weeks ago, pops up every ten minutes or so. Rooted and Freegee'd so I figured it was not in my best interest to accept this update. I tried to freeze it with Titanium, but that program for some reason constantly failed to load things, froze up, etc., even after reinstalls. Well, today, I decided to be dumb and said hell, let's see what happens. Hit "install now", phone rebooted into CWM, CWM asks if I wanted to accept this update, I said yes, gave me the broken android with the red triangle with a ! in the middle and said it failed. I selected reboot system now, it will only boot into recovery. I have two backups, neither of which CWM will load...ridiculous. Says MD5 mismatch, no idea what that means. Regardless, backups don't work. So, my question now is can I simply do a data wipe/factory reset or must I do an LGNPST? Also, will a data wipe/factory reset remove root and CWM? Because currently I have no reason for my phone to be rooted and unlocked, and CWM doesn't seem to function correctly anyways for me. I need a quick response please!
[LG Optimus G (International)] chadouming:
Look in general, there is a thread on how to recover from such things.
[LG Optimus G (International)] latrotoxin1986:
Cool. I'll see if I can figure it out. Thanks Chad.
[LG Optimus G (International)] latrotoxin1986:
Unbricked. It removed root and unlock, which from what I was reading, I didn't think it would do. Is it safe to update now? lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdustinb:
My alarm clock does not go off as it should in the morning. The alarm begins to go off, and within the first two seconds, it stops without any user input. The only way I can reproduce the behavior is by letting the phone sit without any user input for ~5 hours. If I set an alarm for 30 minutes from now, it works as expected.

I've done a complete restore of the phone, and the issue went away for a while but eventually came back after a few weeks. I didn't make any changes between the last day it was working and when it stopped working properly. This is kind of a major issue given that I use the alarm clock as my only alarm.

Notes:

1. I am using Beans ROM v6 and would post to that thread except I'm new to posting on XDA so unable to do so.

2. This issue occurred when the phone was 100% STOCK, so I know it is not related to the ROM.

3. Using a third party app is a workaround, not a solution. I want a break/fix resolution for using the stock alarm. Ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dpadaddict:
I am having the same issue. I am on 100% stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] IamPro:
Bump, having same problem :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Morkai Almandragon:
does not sound like hardware, but it cannot be in your system as long as you didn't do a dirty flash, have you tried formatting your internal and external sd cards?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jdustinb:
I have restored back to stock by formatting both internal and external storage, and while this resolves the issue temporarily, the issue creeps back up after a period of time. I read somewhere that this may be a stock kernel issue, which makes sense given the first time I hit this issue was before ANY modifications were made to the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BluGuy:
I am having the same problem as well. Alarm stopped yesterday right after the first couple of tones. Then my wife's Galaxy S3 did the same thing today. Both phones are completely stock.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TT_Vert:
Every single time i open navigation I've got to start the gps or start it before hand. Many links I click take me to navigation then I need to click another window to enable gps. It'd be much easier if it was possible to create something like this that is semi automated.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Why not have GPS always on?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TT_Vert:
In my past phone experiences it really sucked the battery dry quickly, is that not the case w/ this one?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
I normally keep mine off. When I want to turn it on, I pull down the notification window and enable GPS via Power Toggles.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
I don't use GPS so I can't answer that just throwing it out there :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mathman85:
Buy Tasker (pricey app, but you'll find so many uses for it that you'll feel like it's completely worth it).

Set up a task that consists of turning on GPS and then opening Navigation (or Maps, whichever you want). Then add a shortcut to that task to your homescreen. You can make the icon the Navigation icon and name it "Navigation" - it'll look identical to the original icon, but it will execute the program (GPS on, open Navigation) when you tap it.

In the case of apps that link to Maps or Navigation, you can create a Tasker profile where, if the Maps or Navigation apps are opened, GPS is turned on. The only downside to this arrangement is that if you're linking directly to Navigation from another app, Tasker needs the Navigation app to open before it enables GPS. The result is that you'll get the "show location settings" window when it first opens Navigation (it likely won't recognize that GPS is on when you get that pop-up).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
+1...this is how I have mine setup, works like a charm. Tasker is awesome, there are tons of things you can do with it. You'll need to install Secure Settings from the play store (free) also if you want to be able to toggle gps.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 007math:
I use AutomateIt and have it set to start GPS when maps or nav opens. It automatically shuts off GPS when going to a different app.

[HTC One X+] paulinodf:
Hello guys, I own an AT&T HOX+.

As (I suppose) all of you know, the headset button does not work as it should on our phone. Before gettin an HOX+ I had a HOX (international) and had the same problem, but I solved it with "headset button controller" from market (I bought the app), but it does not seem to work on HOX+, so every time I want to, for example, skip to next song, I have to take the phone out of my pocket. Not a good thing to do with a so expensive piece of technology.

Any ideas, mods, etc?

Thanks

Be more specific as to what you are trying to accomplish. ;)

Help us help you.
[General Questions and Answers] zeest:
I am trying to find what part of a file is being read for an on/off tag, so I can modify it to bypass the bootloader. The file that is read is just a data file, full of 0's and 1's. As far as I can tell, the system reads the specific flag using an offset-length system, but the program that runs it is compiled and a few megabytes, plus I have no idea what I am doing with assembly.
[General Questions and Answers] bhundven:
So lets take a step back and help describe the universe of this problem.

What kind of device do you have?

Which file are you talking about? Is it on a specific partition?

I have answers, well and if I don't I can at least help point you in the right direction, I just need more input.
[General Questions and Answers] zeest:
An LG Motion (ms770).

The file is named "misc". I am not sure which partition it is on, probably the bootloader's (mmcblk0p5), since that is what uses it.
[General Questions and Answers] bhundven:
I'm not a very good resource for qualcomm based devices, like the ms770.

Do you have more information about how this works? Maybe a link to how it was done for another device?

There are ten types of people in the world; those that understand binary, and those that don't. :)

Do you have a process trace (ptrace) of this or something? I would like to know more about this.

Sorry about my slow responses... I'm not very good at multitasking :p
[General Questions and Answers] zeest:
I had a link, a few months ago, that was notes from an assembly programmer to another team, for another similar device, but I don't have the link anymore, got lost when I upgraded to windows 7. From what I understand, the bootloader looks at the tag in the other file, if it is set to true, it does a signature check on the boot partition. If not, it boots with no security, aka unlocked.

Nope

NP, thanks for even helping.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tphone:
I've just discovered that my gyro sensor doesn't work. I am running rooted stock 4.1.1. The phone can not detect tilt movements. And under Settings->Motion->Sensitivity settings->Gyroscope calibration, the blue dot does not move from the center, no matter which orientation the phone is held. All of the options under Motion don't seem to work. I just want to see if anybody else has the same problem before calling TMobile.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Firstly, this should have been posted in the q&a section.

And the blue circle isn't supposed to move. You lay the phone on a flat surface and it calibrates itself.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tphone:
Sorry for posting in the wrong section. You are right about the blue dot not moving. I downloaded a few apps that detect sensors and all built-in sensor seem to be working as they are supposed too. I have problem for example of taking screenshot with a palm wipe or zooming picture by tilting the device, muting phone by turning it over, etc. None of these features work on my phone. Will try to explore more to see what the real problem is.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Do you have the switch turned on next to motion in the settings?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bobolinko:
Before you go off the deep end, run the test on the sensor.

in the stock dialer:

Quick Test Menu

*#7353#

select the accelerometer tester and ilt the phone whatever way you want. If the arrows don't change, then the sensor isn't working. If the Arrows do change, then all good, no panic necessary...

Good Luck

Aloha
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tphone:
Thank you for your help. I ran the sensor test and the sensors work. I also turned on the Motion switch but the Motion features still don't work for me. Maybe this is a software issue. I will continue to explore and will report back if I've found something.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bobolinko:
Hi,

Please do the following:

Pull the top notification bar down by using a downward swipe.

Tap on the Toothed Wheel in upper right corner

scroll down till you see the System divider (below the Add account line)

is Motion ON on the right side of it? if not, turn it on.

Tap on the word Motion

Are any of the options you want to use set with a check in the box?

if not, put the check in whatever you want to use by tapping on the box on the right of the function.

Example:

If you want to use Palm swipe for screen captures, tap on the box on the right of the option.

the boxes toggle these options so if you want the option off, then tap on the checkmark and it'll go off.

When you're done, click on the back button on the right side of the menu bar below the screen till you get back to the homescreen.

You are done, and the selected options should now function.

simple huh?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tphone:
Thank you, bobolinko. I've been doing exactly what you described and no motion feature works for me. I begin to think that my software has a problem, because it does crash occasionally and software upgrade check hangs forever in the "checking for software updates..." screen and never comes back, no matter if I am on wifi or on 4G. Let me reinstall stock firmware and report back.

Try it like this:

Also, has it EVER worked?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tphone:
Thanks for the video. I did exactly as shown and nothing happens. I never tried Motion before until I needed to capture my screen and discovered that it doesn't work for me. In the mean time, using PWR and HOME button at the same time does allow me to capture the screen, so I don't really need Motion feature working for me. I am just thinking that my software has a problem and I will need to reinstall stock. Thanks a lot for your help in any case.

Anyone doing any "development" rooting, firmware flashing, CWmods etc on iView tablet/phones?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fATLTulwdQg

So now, at least I know it can be done on an iView....

I'm tempted to just go for it....unfortunately, a 760TPC spec is pretty much too far off from a 792 TPC model (dual sim phone capabilities + 2G/3G + GPS/A-GPS connectivities which will most likely get messed up) if I flash it...and without any firmware back-up :( I'd most likely brick it before I could say I have root!)
